🍞 Inspiration

Often times, women are catcalled and pestered for a Snapchat, Instagram, or their phone number. We wanted to tackle this issue by creating a resource that could help prevent further action from the initiator while getting the user out of a... crusty situation. While we were at it, we also wanted to motivate people to learn how to make sourdough bread as a way to cope from the rejection; offer a way to forget their current situation.

🥪 What it does

SourDoe is a resource that anyone can learn quickly-- essentially, it gives you a phone number that you can give to whomever may be pestering you. This phone number (using Twilio API) will send them a link to our website, where they learn how to make sourdough bread.

🍞 How we built it

We built SourDoe using Twilio API with Python and Figma to build our website. Feel free to test it out using this number: +1 (959) -214 -4471

🥪 Challenges we ran into

Unfortunately, we weren't available during the first half of the hackathon, resulting in us having to creating something late into the night. Figma also has a particular auto layout issue that has yet to be solved on our end.

🍞 Accomplishments that we're proud of

With the limited amount of time we had, we managed to create something entertaining yet also useful. We can get people out of bothersome scenarios while encouraging others to create something they must've never done before. We also managed to make our Figma website with a bit more ease as in the past, we had no idea what we were doing.

🥪 What we learned

Since this is our first time using Twilio, we got to learn a lot about what we could use from it-- mass alerts, live streaming and (most importantly) automated texting.
